Pumpkins – Dandy's World Halloween Event Currency

Pumpkin Obtainment

Pumpkins are earned through several in-game methods during the Halloween Event. Each Floor spawns exactly two Pumpkin Items on the ground, which appear as small orange pumpkin models that players walk over to collect. Completing any Machine type — including Circle Machines, Duo Machines, and Treadmill Machines — also awards Pumpkins, making Machine efficiency a core part of any farming strategy. Players additionally earn a small bonus for each Twisted they encounter on a given Floor, which rewards survival and deeper progression. On weekends, a 2x booster doubled all earned amounts from Friday at 2 PM to Sunday at 11 PM EST, making weekend play significantly more rewarding. The 2x weekend system was introduced in v0.13.9 specifically because the total cost to buy all Holiday Toons, Skins, and Stickers was extremely high. The system officially ended on Friday, November 7th, 2025, when the event popup was removed from Roblox, even though the Halloween Event itself continued until November 14th. A distinct sound effect plays whenever a player picks up or receives Pumpkins, though the audio is sped up in the actual game compared to its original file. For players who prefer not to grind, Robux purchases offer a shortcut, and limited-time event codes provided free Pumpkins during the 2025 event window.

• Picking up a Pumpkin Item — 2 spawn each Floor (5 Pumpkins per pickup, 10 during 2x weekends)
• Completing a Machine — 5 Pumpkins per Machine completed (10 during 2x weekends), applies to Circle Machines, Duo Machines, and Treadmill Machines
• Encountering a Twisted — 1 Pumpkin per Twisted per Floor (2 during 2x weekends), earned passively as Twisteds appear
• Purchasing with Robux — 99 Robux (300 Pumpkins), 475 Robux (1,450 Pumpkins), 925 Robux (2,950 Pumpkins), 1,500 Robux (5,000 Pumpkins)
• 2025 Halloween Event codes — SPOOKYSEASON (600 Pumpkins) and HAPPYHALLOWEEN (600 Pumpkins)

Pumpkin Spending

Pumpkins are spent exclusively through the Halloween Event shop located in the Lobby. Players can purchase four Halloween Event Toons — Eclipse, Gourdy, Ribecca, and Soulvester — along with Halloween Event Skins and Halloween Stickers. The purchase interface shows Ribecca collecting Pumpkins in escalating quantities, visually tracking progress toward unlocking her. The total cost to buy everything available in the 2025 Halloween Event was 26,100 Pumpkins, making it one of the most expensive event shops in the game's history. Because leftover Pumpkins disappear entirely when the event ends and do not carry over to the next year, players should plan their purchases carefully and spend all remaining Pumpkins before the event concludes. There is no refund, conversion, or rollover mechanism for unspent currency. Players who fall short of the 26,100 total must prioritize which Toons and Skins matter most to them, since partial progress does not save between events.

Tips & Tricks

Maximizing Pumpkin earnings requires choosing the right Toon, equipping helpful Trinkets, and adopting an efficient play style. The goal is to collect both floor spawns on every Floor, complete every Machine, and survive long enough to encounter Twisteds on each Floor. The maximum number of Pumpkins earnable per Floor up to Floor 7 is 32, or 64 during 2x weekends, so knowing the theoretical cap helps players gauge whether they are farming efficiently. Toons with high survivability statistics and detection Abilities are ideal, since dying early on a Floor means missing out on Machine completions and Twisted encounter bonuses. Below are the best Toons and Trinkets for Pumpkin grinding, along with strategic advice for both solo and group play.

• Pebble — his Fetch! Ability highlights Pumpkin Items on the floor, making them much easier to locate and collect quickly without wasting time searching.
• Coal — her Scout Ability detects and highlights Pumpkin Items for Coal and all nearby teammates, making her the best choice for group Pumpkin farming runs.
• Vee's Remote / Wrench — these Trinkets help complete more Machines per Floor when playing in a group, directly increasing the number of Machine completion bonuses earned.
• Bone Needle and Thread — this Trinket highlights Pumpkin Items on the floor, serving a similar detection role to Pebble's Fetch! Ability for Toons that lack built-in item detection.
• Scrapbook — reduces Stealth, which makes it easier to draw Twisted aggro and trigger Twisted encounters for the 1 Pumpkin per Twisted per Floor bonus.
• Solo runs are one of the most efficient ways to grind Pumpkins. All Machine completions go to you, you have unlimited time to scout every corner for Pumpkin Items, and you take all Twisted aggro since there are no other players to distract them.
• Play during 2x Pumpkins weekends to double your earnings. Fridays count as a weekend day starting at 2 PM EST, likely because some regions are already in Saturday due to timezone differences. This window is especially valuable for players who have school or work during the week.
• Prioritize clearing every Machine on each Floor before proceeding. Each Machine completion awards a flat 5 Pumpkins (10 during 2x weekends), and skipping Machines leaves easy Pumpkins on the table.
• On higher Floors, more Twisteds spawn, which means more opportunities to earn the 1 Pumpkin per Twisted per Floor bonus. Surviving deeper into a run compounds your Pumpkin earnings from all three sources simultaneously.
• During Blackouts and Panic Mode events, focus on survival rather than item collection. Dying costs you the remaining Pumpkins on that Floor and ends your run, so playing cautiously during dangerous phases preserves your overall earnings.

Trivia

Notable facts about Pumpkins from the Dandy's World community and Fandom wiki.

• Pumpkins are the fourth currency added to the game, after Ichor, Ornaments, and Baskets. This count does not include Tapes, as their only current use is during runs rather than as a persistent currency.
• Pumpkins are the third Event Currency added to the game, following Ornaments and Baskets.
• The maximum number of Pumpkins earnable per Floor (up to Floor 7) is 32, or 64 during 2x weekends.
• In v0.13.9, the 2x weekend booster was introduced specifically because the total cost to buy all Holiday Toons, Skins, and Stickers was so high. This makes Pumpkins the first currency in the game to receive a 2x multiplier.
• Fridays count as part of the 2x weekend window, likely because some regions are already in Saturday due to timezone differences and because school has finished for the week.
• For unknown reasons, the 2x system did not activate on the weekend of November 7-9, 2025. One possible explanation is that the 2025 Halloween Event was originally supposed to end on November 7th, and when it was extended to November 14th, the 2x Pumpkins system was not reactivated.
• There is a rainbow gradient visible on the Pumpkin texture file. This was originally planned to make the Pumpkin model rainbow-colored as a decorative touch, but the idea was ultimately scrapped before release.
• You needed a total of 26,100 Pumpkins to purchase every item available in the 2025 Halloween Event, including all four Holiday Toons, their Skins, and Stickers.
